NPN Planar Silicon Darlington Transistor

2SC3987

Driver Applications

Applications Package Dimensions

· Suitable for use in switching of L load (motor unit:mm
drivers, printer hammer drivers, relay drivers). 2041A
[2SC3987]
Features
· High DC current gain.
· Large current capacity and wide ASO.
· On-chip Zener diode of 60±10V between collector
and base.
· Uniformity in collector-to-base breakdown voltage
due to the adoption of an accurate impurity diffusion
process.
· High inductive load handling capability.
· Micaless package facilitating mounting. 1 : Base
2 : Collector
3 : Emitter

Specifications of any and all SANYO products described or contained herein stipulate the performance,
characteristics, and functions of the described products in the independent state, and are not guarantees
of the performance, characteristics, and functions of the described products as mounted in the customer's
products or equipment. To verify symptoms and states that cannot be evaluated in an independent device,
the customer should always evaluate and test devices mounted in the customer's products or equipment.
SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. strives to supply high-quality high-reliability products. However, any and all
semiconductor products fail with some probability. It is possible that these probabilistic failures could
give rise to accidents or events that could endanger human lives, that could give rise to smoke or fire,
or that could cause damage to other property. When designing equipment, adopt safety measures so
that these kinds of accidents or events cannot occur. Such measures include but are not limited to protective
circuits and error prevention circuits for safe design, redundant design, and structural design.
